Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Canadian hedge funds have outperformed the benchmark index by an average of 72 basis points monthly from January 2000 through May 2009. By comparison, Canadian mutual funds have outperformed the benchmark index by an average of 18 basis points monthly in the same period. This contrast in performance persists even after adjusting for risk, as measured by Sharpe Ratio, Treynor Ratio, and Information Ratio. It also persists on market risk adjusted basis. Using CAPM, Fama and French three Factor Model, and Carhart, the alpha is much higher for Hedge Funds than Mutual funds. I have analysed the performance in different sub periods and market environments. Hedge Funds more actively manage their asset allocation and thus, the high degree of freedom that hedge funds have in their investment style can possibly be one explanation for the differences in the performance.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
